ITEM COMPONENT OPERATION/FUNCTION
1 Transient Voltage Surge
Provide surge protection. Filter electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio
frequency interference (RFI). Minimize surges or interference present in the
utility power and protect devices connected on the same branch as the UPS.
2 Battery Charger
Regulates input AC power to continuosly float-charge the batteries are
charge
s when the UPS is plugged in, even when not powered-on.
3 Batteries
Valve-regulated, non-spillable, lead-acid batteries.
NOTE: To maintain battery design life, operate the UPS in an ambient
temperature of 59 °F to 77 °F (15 °C to 25 °C).
4 DC-to-DC Converter
Raises the DC voltage from the battery to the optimum operating voltage for
the inverter. This allows the inverter to operate continuously at its optimum
eiciency and voltage, thus increasing reliability.

Rectier/Power Factor
Correction (PFC) Circuit
In normal operation, converts utility AC power to regulated DC power for use
by the inverter while ensuring that the wave shape of the input current used
by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sine-wave input current ensures
eicient use of utility power and reduces reected harmonic distortion making
cleaner power available to devices that are not protected by the UPS.
6 Inverter
In normal operation, inverts the DC output of the PFC circuit into precise,
regulated sine-wave AC power. When utility power fails, the inverter receives
DC power from the DC-to-DC converter. In either operating mode, the UPS
inverter remains on-line, generating clean, precise, regulated AC-output power.
7 Internal Bypass
In the unlikely event of UPS failure such as overload or over-temperature,
automatically transfers the connected load to bypass.
To manually transfer the connected load from inverter to bypass, see
Transferring from Normal to Bypass Mode on page 50
8 Maintenance bypass
Maintenance bypass keeps connected equipment powered with unility
power and allows replacement of the UPS in the event of a UPS malfunction.
